Chaddy The Owl will be questioned by Oldham police today (Thursday) about an incident which took place at the recent Latics game against Black-pool at Boundary Park.

Chaddy - in real life 30-year-old actor and model Kevin Williams - was escorted from the pitch after a scuffle with Blackpool's Bloomfield Bear which ended when he threw one of the Bear's boots into the crowd.

An assualt charge has been filed.

Mr Williams said: "They're trying to claim the Bear is all innocent, but if I had a pound for every time he tried to rugby tackle me, I'd have about seven quid.

"I can't believe such a harmless incident has got to this stage."

Helen Wolstencroft, Blackpool's public relations officer said Chaddy The Owl - but not Kevin Williams - will be welcome when Oldham Athletic visit on January 24.
